Daft Punk to Tour Behind Tron?

We can hope, anyway

Back in March, we reported that robot overlords Daft Punk were set to score the forthcoming Tron update now apparently titled Tron Legacy, which means there's going to be at least one good thing about Tron Legacy. If there's anyone who knows how to turn hilariously anachronistic early-80s video-game aesthetics into high art, it's the guys who performed an entire mind-bending arena tour standing in a structure that looked like something out of "Battlezone".

Well, according to Tron Legacy director Joseph Kosinski, Daft Punk may be so proud of their score that they'll take it on the road, not something they do particularly often.

Earlier today, Kosinski spoke at Comic-Con International, giving a few tantalizing details about the flick. According to Movieline (via Idolator), someone in the crowd at Kosinski's panel asked him if Daft Punk would tour their soundtrack, and he said that "there would definitely be Daft Punk Tron-themed events on the horizon." Tron Legacy isn't due until 2011, and we've been burned by movie directors before, so don't start polishing your robot helmet just yet. But if this is true, it could be so awesome.

Kosinski also claimed that he'd met Daft Punk at a "mysterious pancake breakfast in L.A." and that they were wearing their helmets. So maybe they just fed the pancakes through their visors? That sounds potentially messy.
